The print is in very good condition and is tastefully mounted, framed and glazed. The islands depicted are the Farne Islands, Lindisfarne, Isle of Man, Isles of Scilly, Jersey, Guernsey and Sark, Alderney and Isle of Wight.

The first edition drawings were commissioned in the early 1600s and proved popular. Despite this, further editions were not available until the late 17th Century. This map dates from the early 1700s. It was retailed by Abel Swale Awnsham and John Churchill, of London.
